Why?  Corpora III.C <http://sca.org/docs/pdf/govdocs.pdf> says

     C. Branch Designations

     The designations given below are considered standard, and their
     use for branches of the appropriate type needs no special
     justification: ...

     * Province: equivalent of barony without ceremonial representative
       ...

Later:

     2. Lateral changes in branch designation (such as between barony
        and province or between shire and college) ...

and later still

     5. Baronies and Provinces: Baronies and provinces are large
        branches within and subject to the administration of a kingdom
        (or principality, if any). They are alike in status and in the
        ability to administer other branches within their borders, but
        differ in that baronies possess a Baron and/or Baroness,
        ceremonial representatives appointed by the Crown, and
        therefore have the ability to create and administer awards,
        while provinces do not. ...

I think that any province should rank among the baronies.
